6.1 Using Web Browser

There are four ways to open the Web Browser. The two main ways are to select "launch

browser" from the Experimental screen or to follow a link from within your reading

material. Many of the blogs that you subscribe to from the Kindle Store have links to

websites. Selecting these links will open Web Browser and take you to the URL (web

address) associated with the link. If you select "launch browser" from the Experimental

page, you will open to the last website you were viewing in your browser.

One other way of accessing Web Browser is to type in a word anytime from Home or

any book, blog, newspaper, personal document, or magazine you happen to be

reading. When you begin typing, a search box will pop up at the bottom of the screen,

and you can use the 5-way controller to navigate to the right and select "google" or

"wikipedia" from the menu to search those sites directly for the word you typed.

You can also enter a URL in the Search box from the Home page. Type the URL and use

the 5-way to select "go to" and then press the 5-way.

Entering a URL

To enter the URL for a website, navigate to the top of the Browser screen to select the

URL text field or press Menu and select "Enter URL". Begin typing a URL. When you are

done typing, use the 5-way controller to select “go to” and press the 5-way controller

to go to that website.

The URL text field retains the last URL you entered in case you w

ant to quickly edit the

same address and submit it again. If you want to enter a secure site with an "https"

address, use the Delete key

to delete the automatically entered "http://" and type

the address you want.
